I don’t think it’s a big deal (the “scandal”) but I support her silent statement that she won’t play ball with them unless they get their act sorted out.
If there is any weakness to the Republicans it would be the many skeletons in the closets of their most viable candidates.
There used to be a time when Mark Sanford was considered a viable candidate to be either VP or POTUS. Look what’s happened since ? The Jack Abramoff lobbying scandals was a major factor behind the lost of the House in 2006. Is the GOP going to commit political suicide again ?
If this goes on, it would not matter how good your policies are, people will just grow sick and tired of your party as no different from the Dems.
